This Pirated Weekend, Jan.24th - 27th

I live two blocks from Bayshore, the Gasparilla parade route. My next-door neighbor is having a beer pong party to commemorate the event. This means I will be fleeing the area for the day. My cat will be totally spooked, needing therapy after listening to gunshots and cannon fire for hours. All of this to commemorate a plundering rapist pirate that never came to Tampa. Let's see what there is to escape to.
